I bought this to help with recovery from a knee replacement. It is sturdy, easy to operate, a manageable size and weight, and a reasonable price.

I liked this walker so much! It really helped me get around in my house during my recovery with lots of ease. It seems to be slightly a little more compact and easier to manage than bigger ones. Love the bright orange color too! Very sturdy!

I unfortunately am having a hard time walking due to a condition ( I am young). It was much better than using my cane because it even out the way I walk without favoring my good leg which was starting to hurt using my cane.I only had to put the handles on myself which wasn’t a big deal, everything came put together already which was helpful because I needed it asap and didn’t have anyone to put it together if it didn’t. I wish it was lighter but its not too bad, because its just to get around my home. Easy to work, adjustable, breaks are good, no oil change needed (Just kidding). I like that there is storage under the seat, it helpful to carry things to other rooms. Having to need this at my age is not fun but happy I got it because its a life saver for me to get around during this tough time. Maybe I will put a bicycle horn on it for fun. Gotta find the humor in having to use this walker. Price was reasonable and quality seems really good.

Easy to put together and very sturdy. The big wheels make it easy to move and use along with the ease of using the strap located under the seat to fold and store. I definitely recommend walker this!

Before purchasing, I researched extensively all rollators, reviewed the Buyers Guide which gave this one a 9.8 rating, read the Galenus Medical reviews! Everything a saw and read about this product was absolutely true !! I received it yesterday and was able to assemble it myself in less than an hour! It is very sturdy, rolls and turns easily, seat a little narrow but sturdy and comfortable and folds easily!! Everything that I need and wished for!! As a plus the blue is not too flashy and it’s quieter than the standard walker I’ve used since surgery. It’s like buying a new car and getting a Lexus instead of a Kia! A little about me, I am a 79 year old grandma, live alone in a small MIL suite, am recovering from surgery, suffer with severe arthritis especially in my arms and hands, have severe balance issues. If you’re thinking about this item, I encourage you yo give it a try!!

Amazingly easy to put together, outside box was damaged but nothing missing or broken inside. Worked great and was a savings over new in a new box. One of the best purchases I’ve made from Galenus Medical.

I recently purchased the Drive Medical Wheel Rollator Walker with Seat, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision! This rollator has significantly improved my mobility and independence.Pros:1. Sturdy and Durable: The frame is made of high-quality materials, providing excellent stability and support. I feel safe using it both indoors and outdoors.2. Comfortable Seat: The built-in seat is a fantastic feature. It’s well-padded and allows me to take breaks whenever I need. I appreciate the convenience of having a seat readily available.3. Easy to Maneuver: The large wheels roll smoothly over various surfaces, from carpets to sidewalks. I can easily navigate through tight spaces, which is a huge plus!4. Adjustable Height: The handles are adjustable, allowing me to find the perfect height for my comfort. This feature makes it suitable for users of different heights.5. Storage Options: The secure pouch under the seat is perfect for storing my personal items, and it keeps everything easily accessible while I’m on the go.6. Lightweight Design: Despite its sturdy construction, the rollator is surprisingly lightweight and easy to lift when needed.Cons:1. Assembly Required: While the assembly was straightforward, it did take a bit of time to put together. However, the included instructions were clear and easy to follow.2. Limited Color Options: I would love to see more color options! While the standard colors are nice, a wider selection would be great for personalization.Overall Impression:The Drive Medical Wheel Rollator Walker with Seat is an outstanding mobility aid that has positively impacted my daily life. It’s practical, easy to use, and offers great support and comfort. I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable rollator. It has truly made a difference in my mobility and confidence!

It’s stable and sturdy. I’ll share some facts and tips for those who are considering this unit.The outside dimension from side to side, including all pieces, is about 22.5 inches. At my house, that’s narrow enough to roll into a bedroom but not a bathroom. It would just roll through the bathroom doorway if there was no door, but a standard hinged door gets in the way.The seat itself is about 12 inches square. The space between the uprights is 16.5 inches, so if you’re any wider than that, it’ll be a squeeze.Hand tightening the handles at the desired height worked okay for me, but a frail person would probably need some help.The usual guidance I’ve seen for walking aids is that the handles should rise to about the crease in your wrist. I’m 5’9″, and I had to raise the handles to their highest stable position to reach my wrist. I’ve got the handles standing 36 inches off the floor. The product specs say they can go to 37″, but I was leery of putting them any higher. If you’re a six-footer, 37 inches might not be high enough anyway.The seat is 21″ above the floor – not adjustable.The handles stand 14.5 inches above the seat, at the handle height I’m using. That might be good news for you if you’d need the support to stand up. It might be bad news if you don’t like having high “armrests” when you’re seated.The 7.5-inch wheels are pretty good at rolling over minor obstacles, but sooner or later you’ll have to lift the unit. The product specs say it’s 20 pounds. Think of it as something like a couple of gallons of a beverage, or a case of 24-ounce cans. If those are too heavy for you, the rollator is too heavy for you.The brakes work fine. Someone with weak grip strength might have trouble. You squeeze them bike-style to brake temporarily (without letting go). You push them down with your palms to lock the brakes so you can let go.The basket isn’t described in the instructions, so it took me a few moments to puzzle it out. My instructions: Insert from the front (“front” meaning the direction you’d walk in), with the two hooks facing the rear. Rest the hooks on the crossbar where the seat hinges. There’s a ridge in the bottom of the basket. Rest that on the forward lower crossbar. When it’s in position, the seat partially blocks it from above when the seat is down. The raised seat reaches down into the rear portion of the basket.You’ll need to remove the basket to fold up the rollator.There are a few other things to note about folding it up. First, the strap anchored to the crossbar is handy for starting the folding process.There’s nothing to lock the rollator into a folded position. I find it’s very eager to open back up again. I use an 18″ bungee cord to hold the folded frame together.There’s also nothing to hold the seat or backrest upright while the rollator is folded. For me, this is less of a concern than the frame opening up, but it’d still be nice if the whole thing folded up securely.It doesn’t stand upright on its own in a folded position, even with a bungee cord on the frame. That’s fine it it’ll lie flat in a car trunk, but you’d need to prop it up against something otherwise.Another thing about folding is that you’re pretty much stuck with lifting it when it’s folded. Suppose you need to squeeze through a tight spot. You can’t just roll it through opened up, so you fold it up with the intent of pushing it through sideways. Not gonna happen. The rear wheels don’t turn left or right, so you’re not going to be able to roll the unit sideways. Or suppose you want to push or pull the rollator forward while it’s folded. That’s not going to work either, because the front and rear wheels are going to rub against each other. You’d drag it more than roll it, so you’re probably stuck with lifting it.
